Oi! the Boat Records is an
independentrecord label based in
Lafayette, Indiana. The label was started as a digital distribution only record label to release Yakimick's former bands' early recordings.[1] It has since evolved into an internationally recognized independent label with a back catalog of vinyl and digital releases from both established and relatively unknown acts from half a dozen countries worldwide.
In 2009, the label released its first vinyl output: a split 7-inch vinyl EP with
Stamford Bridge (Carl Fritcher from iconic US
Oi! band
The Templars (band)) and
Bastards Choir. In 2009, Max Campbell of Bastards Choir and Hudson Falcons joined Yakimick as co-owner of Oi! the Boat.[2]
In 2010, the label released the popular Swedish Oi! band
Perkele's EP entitled "Punk Rock Army" through a collaboration with Germany's
Bandworm Records[3] who had previously rereleased Yakimicks former band Brassknuckle Boys LP "Songs About Fighting" on vinyl.
